Their work could lead to innovative electronics and solar applications. To succeed, they called upon plasmonics CalTechNews Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:39:57 +0100 http://www.caltechnews.com/article/monkeys_move_and_feel_virtual_objects_using_only_their_brains In a first ever demonstration of a two-way interaction between a primate brain and a virtual body, two monkeys trained at the Duke University Center learned to employ brain activity alone to move an avatar hand and identify the texture of virtual objects CalTechNews Fri, 07 Oct 2011 09:32:57 +0100 http://www.caltechnews.com/article/computer_model_reveals_neurons_coordinating_their_messaging There is strength in numbers if you want to get your voice heard. But how to do you get your say if you are in the minority? That's a dilemma faced not only by the citizens of a democracy but also by some neurons in the brain CalTechNews Mon, 05 Apr 2010 08:43:02 +0100 http://www.caltechnews.com/article/3-d_hand_movement_reconstructed_using_brain_signals Researchers have successfully reconstructed 3-D hand motions from brain signals recorded in a non-invasive way CalTechNews Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:21:29 +0100 http://www.caltechnews.com/article/new_generation_of_neuro-computer Intelligent machines that not only think for themselves but also actively learn are the vision of researchers of the Institute for Theoretical Science (IGI) at Graz University of Technology.
